An Accrington CARE home cleaner, Melita Flanagan, aged sixty years, said that she couldn’t believe she had won. She said that she is not normally a lucky person, but this time she has obviously been proven wrong, you never know when lady luck might be peering over your shoulder and if you don’t enter, you certainly won’t have a chance of winning. The Telegraph runs a weekly bingo competition, where readers have to collect different bingo numbers daily in the paper. She won ₤500 and she says that her husband texted her to tell her she had won but she thought he was pulling her leg.

Melita of Cromwell Avenue in Accrington, and who is obviously luckier than she thought she was is going to use the bingo prize money to take a much needed holiday with her husband. She also said that she couldn’t wait to see the newspaper delivery man to tell him she won and see what he says about it. Her daughter and sister both think that the bingo win was brilliant, and everyone at her place of work is really pleased for her.

The “Telegraph” weekly bingo competition is sponsored by Lookers Vauxhall, Blackburn.
